"Glebelands", a 28.75 acre Manchester Village Estate, dramatically sets itself apart by a magnificent water setting, offering an extraordinary spillway cascading back into the Munson Brook that feeds a lovely swimming pond where the stream flow meanders out the property ultimately feeding the Orvis Fishing Pond. The exceptionally well proportioned 4 BR, 5.5 Ba estate residence offers beautiful architectural details throughout the Living room, Dining room and Study each with fireplace; the Danby marble kitchen with two additional wet bars/ prep areas that offer an unusual open butlers pantry set up perfectly for entertaining or peaceful cook's enjoyment. Old world meets today with an award winning architect-designed "great room" with perfectly centered fireplace, vault, window walls and built-ins, that lead to a breakfast nook. Upstairs can be approached by elevator or one of two staircases. There is a true old world master bedroom suite with balcony, dressing room, closets, dressing table alcove, and marble accented bath, three additional bedrooms each with adjacent baths. The carriage house boasts a 2 BR and 1 BR apartment each with fireplace. Playful outbuildings such as the radiant heated folly or playhouse. The unique grounds are defined by specimen plantings, orchard, and hidden gardens with reflecting pools and fountains that truly speak to an era of significance. "Glebelands" is Manchester's stroll through an opulent history.
